Something of Historic Proportion is Happening
Unknown ^ | Unknown | Pam Geller

Posted on 03/17/2009 12:51:41 PM PDT by Dick Bachert

I am a student of history. Professionally. I have written 15 books in six languages, and have studied it all my life. I think there is something monumentally large afoot, and I do not believe it is just a banking crisis, or a mortgage crisis, or a credit crisis. Yes, these exist but they are merely single facets on a very large gemstone that is only now coming into a sharper focus. Something of historic proportions is happening. I can sense it because I know how it feels, smells, what it looks like, and how people react to it. Yes, a perfect storm may be brewing, but there is something happening within our country that has been evolving for about 10 - 1 5 years. The pace has dramatically quickened in the past two.

We demand and then codify into law the requirement that our banks make massive loans to people whom we know can never pay back? Why? We learn just days ago that the Federal Reserve, which has little or no real oversight by anyone, has "loaned" two trillion dollars (that is $2,000,000,000, 000) over the past few months, but will not tell us to whom or why or disclose the terms. That is our money. Yours and mine. And that is three times the $700B we all argued about so strenuously just this past September. Who has this money? Why do they have it? Why are the terms unavailable to us? Who asked for it? Who authorized it? I thought this was a government of "We the People," who loaned our powers to our elected leaders.. Apparently not.

We have spent two or more decades intentionally de-industrializing our economy. Why? We have intentionally dumbed down our schools, ignored our history, and no longer teach our founding documents, why we are exceptional, and why we are worth preserving. Students by and large cannot write, think critically, read, or articulate.

Parents are not revolting, teachers are not picketing, school boards continue to back mediocrity. Why?

We have now established the precedent of protesting every close election (now violently in California over a proposition that is so controversial that it wants marriage to remain between one man and one woman. Did you ever think such a thing possible just a decade ago?). We have corrupted our sacred political process by allowing unelected judges to write laws that radically change our way of life, and then mainstream Marxist groups like ACORN and others to turn our voting system into a banana republic. To what purpose?

Now our mortgage industry is collapsing, housing prices are in free fall, major industries are failing, our banking system is on the verge of collapse, Social Security is nearly bankrupt, as is Medicare and our entire government. Our education system is worse than a joke (I teach college and know precisely what I am talking about.) The list is staggering in its length, breadth, and depth. It is potentially 1929 x 10. And we are at war with an enemy we cannot name for fear of offending people of the same religion who cannot wait to slit the throats of your children if they have the opportunity to do so.

And now we have elected a man no one knows anything about, who has never run so much as a Dairy Queen, let alone a town as big as Wasilla , Alaska .. All of his associations and alliances are with real radicals in their chosen fields of employment, and everything we learn about him, drip by drip, is unsettling if not downright scary (Surely you have heard him speak about his idea to create and fund a mandatory civilian defense force stronger than our military for use inside our borders? No? Oh, of course. The media would never play that for you over and over and then demand he answer it. Sarah Palin's pregnant daughter and $150,000 wardrobe is more important.)

Mr. Obama's winning platform can be boiled down to one word: Change. Why? I have never been so afraid for my country and for my children as I am now. This man campaigned on bringing people together, something he has never, ever done in his professional life. In my assessment, Obama will divide us along philosophical lines, push us apart, and then try to realign the pieces into a new and different power structure. Change is indeed coming. And when it comes, you will never see the same nation again.

And that is only the beginning. I thought I would never be able to experience what the ordinary, moral German felt in the mid-1930s. In those times, the savior was a former smooth-talking rabble-rouser from the streets, about whom the average German knew next to nothing. What they did know was that he was associated with groups that shouted, shoved, and pushed around people with whom they disagreed; he edged his way onto the political stage through great oratory and promises. Economic times were tough, people were losing jobs, and he was a great speaker. And he smiled and waved a lot. And people, even newspapers, were afraid to speak out for fear that his "brown shirts" would bully them into submission. And then he was duly elected to office, with a full-throttled economic crisis at hand [the Great Depression]. Slowly but surely he seized the controls of government power, department by department, person by person, bureaucracy by bureaucracy. The kids joined a Youth Movement in his name , where they were taught what to think. How did he get the people on his side? He did it promising jobs to the jobless, money to the moneyless, and goodies for the military-industrial complex. He did it by indoctrinating the children, advocating gun control, health care for all, better wages, better jobs, and promising to re-instill pride once again in the country, across Europe , and across the world.

He did it with a compliant media - Did you know that? And he did this all in the name of justice and .. . . change. And the people surely got what they voted for. (Look it up if you think I am exaggerating. ) Read your history books. Many people objected in 1933 and were shouted down, called names, laughed at, and made fun of. When Winston Churchill pointed out the obvious in the late 1930s while seated in the House of Lords in England (he was not yet Prime Minister), he was booed into his seat and called a crazy troublemaker. He was right, though ..

Don't forget that Germany was the most educated, cultured country in Europe . It was full of music, art, museums, hospitals, laboratories, and universities. And in less than six years - a shorter time span than just two terms of the U. S. presidency - it was rounding up its own citizens, killing others, abrogating its laws, turning children against parents, and neighbors against neighbors. All with the best of intentions, of course. The road to Hell is paved with them. As a practical thinker, one not overly prone to emotional decisions, I have a choice: I can either believe what the objective pieces of evidence tell me (even if they make me cringe with disgust); I can believe what history is shouting to me from across the chasm of seven decades; or I can hope I am wrong, close my eyes, have another latte and ignore what is transpiring around me.

Some people scoff at me; others laugh or think I am foolish, naive, or both. Perhaps I am. But I have never been afraid to look people in the eye and tell them exactly what I believe - and why I believe it. I pray I am wrong. I do not think I am.

Coding will go into effect by 2011 I believe.

"Ammo Coding" laws have been introduced into the legislatures of a dozen-or-so state, but to the best of my knowledge, none have gone anywhere.

If you find evidence to the contrary, let me know.

It appears the author is actually someone calling themself “TPS”, a poster at Pat Dollard’s website.

http://patdollard.com/2009/02/i-am-a-student-of-history/

It was then quoted on Pam Geller’s site.

They’re starting to come “hot and heavy” these days, aren’t they?

I believe we are entering Dark Ages II. The ignorance and immorality that have allowed this to happen are irreparable.

Wow, that sent chills and even elicited a tear. I am not ashamed to admit I am truly frightened for the near future.

I worry about what is to come in this country until I go to the local gun stores and pistol ranges.

That is ultimately the difference between us and the Germans of the 1930s. This country will never voluntarily disarm.

obama was put in power for one reason and one reason only.

To completely destroy the United States of America. Before he is through,The American monetary system, the military, the agriculture, and social values of the United States of America. And he will accomplish this before he is through.

Why is he doing this? To create a power vacuum that Russia and China can fill in the world but mostly in the Middle East. To make a long story short, the Bible is being fulfilled.

That's just it, you will never have to disarm, but the end game with be the same, can you feel the water froggy? This is a war fought with attorneys, judges, and lawmakers. I keep wondering why everyone thinks they're coming for your guns, they aren't, America is simply going to change, can't you feel it, see it, it's happening now?

I think there are so many Americans, so fed up the ‘status quo’, that they are willing to live under dictatorship, so long as the dictator is Obama.

Reminds one of the old testament when the people asked for a king. God said you aren’t going to like it but I will give you what you want.

Searched for it with author’s name and multiple key words and came up empty.

Having said that, you’re right that it ought to be posted once each month.

Absolutely! Post and re-post. The phrase about Hussein never running so much as a Dairy Queen stuck in my mind, and I’ve used it often when speaking with idiots who voted for Hussein.

Thanks for posting.

I heard one conservative pundit say on the radio today that Geitner has the look of someone who Knows something, but won't disclose what it is.

Along that line, why will NO ONE fill the slots in the Treasury Department ?

Do the Masters of the Universe all know what Geitmer may know, that it's All Over ?
